Weird to suddenly hear Matt Sheahan. Thought I clicked on a Video from the AC channel, then thought no, must be Planet sailing. But it was AC after all. Nice!

Finalmente questa notte vedremo, ( noi nel vecchio continente 4, 00 GMT ) quale é la barca piu veloce, questa attesa é stata molto lunga spero che vinca il migliore.
Spero anche che non sia una vittoria 7 a 0, per nessuna del due team, mi auguro vedere un finale di 7 a 6 .
Forza ragazzi, viva Luna Rossa 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

[friendsandindustry]

[philipbyrnes]

Yes, C’mon ETNZ (Extra Testicle New Zealand), your Aussie cousins are behind you, tho, with Aussie skippers on both boats hmmm, how can we lose lol, just kidding guys, GO KIWI 😎👍

TNZ won by 3.19 seconds last time they met, That is huge, Of course the Italians are going to improve, They will have to BUT so will TNZ . The question is can the Italians improve THAT mush ? That is a big mental barrier to climb, They new they weren't in the ball park last time, Mind stranger things can happen in the AC, What ever - Its going to be GIGANTIC just hope its not going to be 7 zip .

[gaspa]

Italy it's back!!! Luna Rossa very good! Kiwi for hangry...
